Andy’s Thoughts:
- MacKenzie’s $13,000 Daily Double wager is the largest of the season to date, and the largest since James Holzhauer bet $20,000 last May 27.
- The $8,800 left on board is the largest total amount left on the board since December 22, 2016.
- While there have been discrepancies in how MacKenzie’s name has been rendered (big or little K), The Jeopardy! Fan has learned that she prefers MacKenzie; thus, this is how it will be rendered on this site.
- Tom’s Final Jeopardy! bet can be explained by the fact that his HJ Motorsport teams runs car #337.

Terry’s humor in FJ came out again, will miss him! A second true DD by him, but his 9600 Friday outdone by MacKenzie’s monstrous Monday 13,000 DD.
Love that gutsy DD wager by Mackenzie!
I’m also happy to see that 80% to win a 2nd game.
You go MacKenzie!
Congrats to yet another new champ. Seems there is no “streak” time again.
To bad about all the clues left and the DD that was not played. Could have turned the game around or made the win eve higher. After an almost true DD I am surprised that MacKenzie stayed put in FJ! 3.600 would have made a nice even 30 K w/o jeopardizing her runaway.
PS
That Maui was a TS hurts…..
Just saw the “Survivor” category. No wonder so much was left on the board. And it went on forever and ever, then Alex’s comment, the – I believe – average 10 TSs, and the game turned out to be unfair to the players again. Someone else could have won or MacKenzie could have upped her winnings considerably.
J! should know already that the video categories eat up time, so keep them as short as possible, please!

And yes, there were no clues left in the J! part, but it took longer than usual and ate into the DJ! part.
I think when they have a celebrity reading the clues for the entire category they are guaranteed a certain amount of “face-time” while reading the clue…the answers always seem to go on for two “pages”…
I thought mackenzie misspoke and meant $1300. You could tell Alex was a bit shocked. I was stunned.
I thought she misspoke also. She said it too casually for the amount she was risking and she didn’t appear nervous at all.
